OVERDRIVE- NORTON PEDALS Dual-Channel Preamp ... sweet sound, clear and full

$200.00 USD
NORTON PEDALS| DUAL-CHANNEL PREAMP 
A small new company consisting of Father and son Todd and John Mark Norton from Birmingham Alabama. They have 2 pedals both are OD's. Yes I will have to check out the other. This is a two channel OD doing a serious no cheaping out FET design. FETS are as close to the sound of a real tube as you can get. 
The Blue channel is mildly colored boost circuit with it's own volume that 
some owners use as an always on for their clean sound. The Red cannel has volume, gain and presence. The tone is used for both channels. The Body control allow you to boost or scoop the lower mids.

CONCLUSION
The boost adds a beautiful second harmonic sweetness with that
rich edge of a Vox AC30 amp. Even when driven that Vox vibe comes through. The gain goes from really usable low mid thing to average medium gain OD. 
The gain is usable through it's whole sweep. Most noticeable is its breadth. the pedal is incredibly full. Many of us spend most of the gig backing vocals even if you have a kick ass OD this could be a killer asset giving you amazing full rich tone without having to pull way back to not compete with the singing.
